Formula Used

The time card calculator uses the following formula to calculate total hours worked:

Total Hours = (End Time - Start Time) mod 24

Overtime Hours = Total Hours - 8 (if Total Hours > 8)

This formula accounts for the 24-hour period and calculates overtime if you worked more than 8 hours.

Worked Example

Let's say you started work at 8:00 AM and finished at 5:00 PM. Here's how the calculation works:

Start Time: 8:00 AM
End Time: 5:00 PM
Total Hours: (17:00 - 08:00) = 9 hours
Overtime Hours: 9 - 8 = 1 hour

In this example, you worked a total of 9 hours with 1 hour of overtime.
